Brand: Marantz

The Marantz CT-4 is a digital audio player released by the popular Japanese audio equipment manufacturer Marantz in the late 1990s. It was part of Marantz's CD/Transport range, which included various CD players and transports for use with external DACs and processors.The CT-4 was designed to be a high-performance player, featuring advanced digital circuitry and a high-quality metal enclosure to minimize the effects of external electrical interference. It was capable of handling multiple digital audio formats, including CD-ROM audio, and it supported various sampling frequencies, including 44.1kHz, 48kHz, and 96kHz.One unique feature of the CT-4 was its support for word clock input, which allowed it to be synchronized with external DACs and processors using a separate clock signal. This feature helped to eliminate timing errors and improve overall audio performance.However, the CT-4 was a expensive product at the time of its release, and it struggled to compete with some of the cheaper and more popular digital audio players from brands like Sony and Panasonic. As a result, Marantz eventually discontinued the CT-4, though some collectors still seek them out today for their high-quality sound and unique features.
